(Senior) Optical Designer:
With a solid background in optical design, preferably in a lead role, this could be the start of your prosperous career.
In this role you’ll be responsible for optical designs, publications, networking and your own personal development. You have a thirst for (ground breaking) innovation and international collaborations. You thrive in a diverse and knowledge based environment and hold nothing back in sharing yours with others.

We’d like you to take responsibility and ownership over results and need you to push the boundaries of what is possible: if the existing approach is no longer sufficient, you will proactively take charge in order to maintain course.

For this, you have a pioneering spirit and are comfortable with the uncertainty that usually comes with complex scientific and engineering problems.
Your seniority will also show in the guidance given to our less senior colleagues and we expect you to delegate and monitor optical design tasks to them.
